Creativity Under Duress with Funkboy Ivan Bodley
Professional bass player Ivan Bodley was hooked on the bass for life after hearing Rick James play on song on TV - he heard that funky, deep bassline and he knew that his instrument had found him. Join us as Ivan talks about his early influences, plays some basslines, and tells us about subbing in on Broadway shows and his creative process. He works best under duress and creates deadlines for himself! Ivan's also an author of the book Am I Famous Yet? Memoir of a Working Class Rockstar. We wrap up the episode listening to the bassline for The Meters' CC Strut.
